This is a Log as we travel to keep us in touch with the real world. We spent a lot of time in the real world now we love the space in the travel world. We live and love full time in our motor home. We tow a Honda FIT to scout around in. We have driven to Alaska and all the lower 48 states. We parked and took a side trip to Hawaii. After traveling in over 20 countries we are most proud of the 1900+ miles we hiked on the Appalachian Trail. Our plans are to travel as long as our health allows.

Makeup station

Early interesting
Cars:

1934 SS Voisin Very rare German I am sure. What a beauty

Today: Makeup table/desk/positionMy brother’s wifeMozelle was a pretty lady. She also loved
to ‘fix-up’. She had never had a spot dedicated in a home specifically for
make-up. I was commissioned to build their retirement home. A beautiful 2800ft
structure with a lake view. Mozelle decided this house would have a make up
area.

On the house plans she off-set
a section 6’ x 3’ specifically for that.A custom made table top with a stack of drawers at each end. The wall
and top was lined with lights like I had seen in the movies of stars dressing
rooms. She was thrilled with the winging mirrors either side and on the wall
behind.When we got this house back it
had Shirl’s old dressing table but with so much other furniture in the room,
Sherry opt’d to just remove it. She chose to do her make up in the master
bathroom.

I took a trip down stairs
where I still had Shirl’s make up table. It was made from an antique dresser. I
decided to add a Formica top and cut it 20 inches to fit in a small section of our walls that is
left. LOL

She seems to like it very much, but refused to have her picture
taken sitting at it. She is shy of cameras. She fussed the whole time we hiked
the Appalachian Trail that the only pictures of her was her backside.

The pictures at the top are to show I did take some pictures with a frontal view!

But she does have a pretty b---! AND Paula used to comment that Sherry must take a hair dresser on her hikes.

Of course this girl needs no
assistance from makeup to show her beauty, but TELLING ANY OF YOU
WOMEN THAT fits the old Navy
saying ‘That is like Peeing in the Wind’ (Cleaned up a little for a family
blog.);-)

Anyway we are both happy with it. I only have to add a mirror on
the wall to augment the magnifying mirror installed.

PS: Ok, I admit the trail pictures are added because she refused to pose! Remember, when you read this that I love you sweetheart . ;-)

Certainly is a lovely make up station for your lovely bride. I'm like her at the mirror in the bathroom most days. At least you are keeping busy. Better than making trouble, I must say. Hope you survive this post and Sherry takes it easy on you!

Sherry is a natural beauty, that's for sure! I also 'put on my face' before the bathroom mirror. BUT, given what the years have done I could benefit from one of the high-fangled mirrors. Either that, or start putting it on using my car's rear-view mirror. :)

YOU are definitely a 'Jack-of-all-trades.' Just like my hubby, you two can do anything. Sherry and I are very fortunate to have found you guys. My guy is still under the weather but he'll come around. I like what you did to the desk. Looks great and just the right size. I also 'put my face on' in front of the bathroom mirrors, also having winged ones. I still cannot get over the fact that the two of you hiked so nearly the entire Appalachian Trail. What an astounding accomplishment. Sherry's looking no different than all those hiking years ago. She and SIL Mozelle are gorgeous gals. Lucky You. :)love n' hugs from up north where the gardens are bursting
